Review: "Because I liked the thin crashes so much, I thought I might have a hard time liking the medium-weight crashes as well. Man, was I wrong. These cymbals (in 14", 15", 16', 17", and 18" sizes) just sang. Their medium weight enhanced stick definition, allowing to the use the crashes for punching accents in quick succession. Each cymbal size had a distinct tone and pitch, with the larger sizes naturally having slightly deeper and more robust voices. When I used mallets on them, the crash sound appeared quickly, and then faded rapidly."
Review written by Chap Ostrander ("Product Close-Up - Meinl Soundcaster Custom Series - Shine On, Shine On", Modern Drummer, June 2006, p. 36)
Review: "The Medium crashes all display a good mix of brightness and underlying warmth. The brilliant finish ensures they all open quickly, and their consequent decay is similarly sweet. The 16" and 18" Medium crashes caught our ears the most, as the balance of the above qualities was particularly harmonious. The 18" was sufficiently deep to give the bell a real voice, making it a contender as a crash/ride."
